To ensure th t the mounting system c n position the mounting interf ce block so the
tool n tur lly flo ts in the work envelope:
1. Me sure the vertic l re ch of the post nd gimb l (sp n A, Figure 2). _________
2. Note ny ddition l vertic l re ch contributed by the tool during oper tion.
_____________
3. Add 1 nd 2 for the tot l vertic l re ch.
_______________
4. Me sure the dist nce from the mounting point to
the work re perpendicul r to the pl ne of t-
t chment (see Figure 1). _________
5. Me sure the horizont l offset from the mounting
point provided by the mounting interf ce block
nd ny other mounting pp r tus (sp n B, Figure
2 nd Figure 4). __________ As Figure 1 shows,
this doesn’t ffect the outw rd re ch much if it is
less th n 17 in., but shorter offset c n be signi-
fic nt if the work envelope is f irly wide, in which
c se you m y need move ble mounting system.
6. Note the horizont l re ch of the tool, gimb l, nd
post ssembly (sp n C, Figure 3).________
7. Verify th t the proposed mounting point s tisfies
these criteri :
_ The horizont l dist nce from the mounting
point to the extremes of the work envelope is
within the re ch of the rm: 30 in.–35 in. rm
(sp n D) + the horizont l re ch of the tool,
gimb l, nd post (sp n C) + the horizont l off-
set of the mounting ssembly (sp n B).
_ The vertic l dist nce from the mounting point
to the center of the work envelope is bout the
tot l vertic l re ch you noted bove.
8. Inspect the mounting system to determine how the
mounting interf ce block will be tt ched. There
re three types of mounting interf ce blocks. As
shown in Figure 5 on the next p ge, e ch is bored
for:
A. Side mounting with 4 holes set in squ re 1½
inches on side, sized for 5/16 in.-18 bolts; this
is preferred.
B. Post mounting on 1 inch post.
C. End mounting with holes set vertic lly 1½
inches p rt, sized for 5/16 in.-18 bolts.
